New Question of the Day:

What is your favourite television show character?

Malcolm Reynolds played by Nathan Fillion who now plays lead in "Castle" I think that the ship captain Malcolm Reynolds was a complex and interesting character who would swing emotionally as needed. Fair and just, combined with firm and sensitive. I feel this character and actor make a mark in history and were ended before their time.

I also have to agree with Dr Who. Especially the 4th Tom Baker and the 9th Christopher Eccleston.

Favorite TV Character? Defiantly Walter Bishop from Fringe. John Noble nails the mad scientist bit in a uniquely endearing manner.

As close to Christmas as I can get away with without being called a Scrooge, I'm happy putting them up about the 22nd/23rd and getting them down on New Years day (hangover permitting).

The other half wants them up on the 1st December. I have a friend who wants to put hers up now and in uni, a flatmate of mine decorated his room on November 1st and started playing the Celine Dion christmas album non-stop till the end of January. He was a nutter. We no longer talk.

It's scary, but we really don't 'get' TV.

We netflix movies, watch a bit of news and weather, maybe some kids programming. If I had to pick out of that group, it would be Arthur. He's a bright kid, and I love how he and his school buddies interact.

Yeah, I know, I need to grow up. I'm Peter Pan.

We spend most of our time playing Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, or (God forbid) Webkinz.

I spend most of my spare time writing. I have a lifetime of writing to catch up on.

Hi all! Newbie here, although I've been lurking for awhile now, bwah ha ha...

Figured I would finally dive in with the question of the day! I have a lot of sympathy for Randman's pick, although I think Wash from Firefly would actually be my favorite. No, wait, Zoe. No no, definitely Jayne. ARGH! Too hard.

So instead I pick Ben from Lost. By turns creepy, pathetic, scary, funny, dorky, and even charming. One of the best TV performances by an actor (Michael Emerson) I can think of.

Good pick. Definitely a contiual unknown of which side he is on or not. Where are his values, the island, family, supposed friends, himself. We still do not know.

I second this one!

...though I also loved James Marsters as Spike in the Buffy TV show. Prior to being de-fanged, that is. He was much cooler when he wasn't neutered.

Right now, I kind of love Richard Castle, the main character on "Castle".

I just laugh out loud at all of the writer humor.

He was SOOO much better than Angel. *ducks and covers her head*

groovyville · 11-06-2009, 03:16 AM

favorite tv show character? hmmmm Doug from king of queens

heth718 · 11-06-2009, 11:06 PM

There are tons of great shows that come and go....Overall Best? Hard to say.

But an overall GREAT actor on a current GREAT show would be Alec Baldwin on 30 Rock. His delivery on his well-written lines make me sigh, shake my head and clap with appreciation.

bettielee · 11-06-2009, 11:43 PM

Aidan Watson-Morris · 11-07-2009, 03:03 AM

I do lean toward Jim and Pam from The O, but I'm going to have to say (even though I don't have TV, whenever I can I watch...) Jon Stewart from the Daily Show. It counts, right?

Today's question is about alarm clocks.

Is the snooze button your friend or an evil device to stop you from getting up right away?

I hate alarm clocks! I would say it's the second one.

R.G. Alexander · 11-07-2009, 07:21 PM

My best, most loved friend. Snooze button, o snooze button!

regdog · 11-07-2009, 08:52 PM

Snooze is my friend

Irishgirl · 11-07-2009, 09:30 PM

If I didn't have a snooze button, I would spend my entire eight minutes worrying that I would fall back asleep and be late.

Susie · 11-07-2009, 09:51 PM

The older I get the more I wake up early by myself and the annoying part is I don't have anywhere to go.
